Keto Hair Loss

I started following a ketogenic diet five months after having our fourth baby. As in previous pregnancies, postpartum hair loss hit with a vengeance around three months. At first, I didn’t think much about the hair loss, as I figured it was just my hormones regulating, but since baby number four came back to back to number three my hair never really recovered. Typically, my hair grows so thick during my pregnancies that the hair loss afterward isn’t that big of a deal.

As I began losing weight on keto, I noticed that the hair loss that typically slows down after a few months of having a baby wasn’t slowing down at all. It seemed particularly worse than normal, and I began to grow concerned as there were no signs of it stopping. Each time I washed my hair, handfuls would fall out. I tried throwing it in a bun on days it wasn’t necessary to “fix” my hair, and that seemed to help a little. I babied my hair as much as I possibly could, but I will admit I was starting to panic. So, I began researching to see if there was anything I could do to at least slow it down.

Thankfully, I found some solutions that worked for me, and my hair stopped falling out in handfuls. Recently, my friend, Jamie, started following the keto lifestyle, and she began experiencing the same kind of hair loss. She and I put our heads together to come up with this comprehensive guide to keto hair loss in case it might be helpful to others. Below, I have included the information that we found to be helpful. continue reading…

Ham & Cheese Keto Sandwich Bowl: Perfect Easy Lunch Solution

One day when I was out and about, I ran to pick up my big kids’ lunch at their favorite sub shop. Since I had not planned lunch that day, I thought a sandwich in a bowl would make a fantastic keto lunch. I’m pretty sure the young girl ringing me up that day thought I was crazy asking for no bread on my sandwich and for all the ingredients to be thrown in a bowl. I know that a lot of sub shops have salads, but I didn’t want a salad with deli meat and cheese added. I wanted everything that usually goes in a salad in a bowl with the same basic ratios. I guess I just didn’t want a salad that day. It was amazingly delicious. I thought that this would be a new perfect keto recipe to make at home. It was such a quick, satisfying lunch.
